| 1 | toenail fungus | Severe rash on inner thighs both legs upper arms at the large muscle. Some dizziness might be attributed to the Lamisil. Seemed to worsen after I stopped before disappearing a week later. | 79 | 3 days 250 | 8/24/2017 | 1 | Finger nail fungus | A salty taste can't hardly stand to eat , don't wont to eat, water taste like crap sweets forget them they leave a bitter taste in your mouth. | I would rather have the fungus then take lamisil,wish my doctor would have tolded me about all the side effects that lamisil has I think food and drug should take it off the market. | F | 76 | 42 days | 5/30/2005 | 1 | Finger nail fungus | I wish that I had read some more about this drug before taking it. I have a terrible taste had it for 2 weeks and still have it know when it will get better,I wouldn't advise anyone to take it.wish my doctor had explained all the side effects in more detell. | F | 75 | 6 weeks | 6/4/2005 | 1 | toenail fungus | drug-induced hepatitis | My 74-year old mother took lamisil for approx. 34 days. Her liver function tests were completely normal immediately prior to starting the drug and she had no prior history of liver problems. Once she started lamisil, however, she progressively became more and more ill, initially with flu-like symptoms. She discontinued the drug and, when she had repeat liver function tests performed, it turned out that her values were through the roof. She's been off the drug for approximately 8 weeks, but her alkaline phosphatase is still well above normal. (Her other values are finally in the normal range.) She has suffered, and continues to suffer, from loss of appetite (w/significant weight loss), severe exhaustion, nausea, chills, itchy skin and bowel problems as a result of the drug. Her internist has diagnosed her with drug-induced hepatitis. As icing on the cake, the lamisil didn't even cure the toenail fungus. This is a dangerous drug that should be removed from the market. | F | 74 | 34 days | 7/22/2006 | 1 | fingernail & toenail fungus | Anxiety, depression, insommnia, blurred vision, rash that required cortisone, severe itching on arms, legs, scalp, palms, prickly feeling, loose stool, strange feeling in mouth like it is swollen, headache, runny nose. | Rushed to dermatologist last week with angry, red, itchy rash on back, forearms and forelegs. Took Lamisil patient Prescription Information and asked if I could be having a reaction. She assured me I was not having a reaction that I had what appeared to be insect bites and gave me 1% cortisone creme. She did not inform me of possible side effects and gave me a prescription for Allegra to take during the day and Benadril at night. I went to Novartis web site and didn't read any of these side effects. In searching the internet for anything on Lamisil I found this site. This is a horrible period to experience and I am not sure whether I can indure to complete the 90 day treatment or not. I am about 45 days into treatment. Now I wonder if I will ever be back to normal? It took three biopsy's before one came back Fungus. Prior to that no one knew what was causing trouble with nails. Now I wonder if the third biopsy was correct. | F | 72 | 6 weeks | 6/9/2006 | 4 | Athlete's Foot | Prickly Fingers & Thumbs, Tightness in lower back Muscles, itchy skin & Scalp, diminished Taste. | 30 250MG Tablets Prescribed by my Doctor for Athlete's Foot. Tried all the over the counter treatments, ie. Lotrimin, Clotrimazole & Desenex without any success, after 23 days fungus between my Toes has disappeared. | M | 71 | 23 days | 12/24/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | I have lost all sense of taste. I have a metallic, bittersweet taste in my mouth that is awful. | I didn't think that I had any side effects until I came upon this website and started reading about everyone else. I thought the taste lost was due to thrush from taking a lot of antibiotics for a kidney infection. When the ususal treatment for thrush did not work, I began to search for a cause. I wish I had never taken this medicine. | F | 69 | 90 days | 8/5/2005 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Headache, nausea, diarrhea, body aches, chills, sleep difficulty, fatigue | Too many negative possibilities to continue,will just have to live with ugly toenail, would not recommend to my worst enemy | M | 69 | 3 days 250 1X day | 4/18/2019 | 2 | toenail fungus | The first few days I had a slightly upset stomach. Then began noticing I had episodes of dizziness and nausea. Today I got so dizzy and nauseated that I vomited and had to leave work early. I thought I might not make it home safely. Am stopping this med and notifying my podiatrist. | F | 68 | 8 days | 8/11/2016 | 1 | toe nail fungi | I took lamisil for 18 days and on the 19th day lost my taste. Food tasted bitter and my mouth was salty and dry all the time.I immediately stopped taking it. My podiatrist and GP told me it should take a few weeks for my taste to come back. I couldn't believe how much the loss of taste affected my life. I was truly depressed (which I have never been before). I found that vegetables (cherry tomatoes, carrots, cukes) tasted OK and skim milk was somewhat normal. I went for a physical and my liver tests were fine. I vowed that if my taste came back I would write so that someone else going through this would have hope. Well, its just a little past three months since I stopped taking lamisil and my taste is coming back. Sweets still don't taste normal but I can enjoy most foods. I find that mixtures aren't great but pure foods are tasting pretty normal. During the first three months the improvement was so small I honestly thought that I was one of those people who would never get ta | Since nail fungi is only a cosmetic problem I would never advise anyone to take it unless they are a foot model. Nail polish, closed toe sandals (fisherman) can be used without the risk. | F | 68 | 18 days 30mg 1X day | 8/7/2010 | 1 | toenail fungus | stomach ache, headache, lethargy, slight dizziness. | A drug that messes with you this badly just isn't worth taking for a mostly cosmetic problem. Not to invite spammers, but has anyone found a safer alternative? | M | 68 | 2 weeks 250mg 1X day | 2/8/2012 | 1 | Nail on foot fungal infection | please dont take this drug, out of the blue I had back pain, pain in my arms with tingling which started after taking pill for 3 nights. Its one night since I ceased taking them but can't sleep for pains in my back arms. | How can this drug be prescribed it is so dreadful!! Would advise not to take it | F | 68 | 3 days 250 1X day | 4/7/2021 | 5 | toenail infection | I expected some side effects. I had none. | It was expensive, but 100% effective after 3months of use. | F | 67 | 90 days | 8/1/2001 | 5 | Toenail fungus | Weight gain and inability to lose, whereas normally I can drop 10 pounds without too much trouble. Otherwise, no side effects at all, and the weight thing is well offset by the benefits! | I am thrilled. I just finished my 12 weeks of taking daily Lamisil, and my two big toes are starting to look normal for the first time in 40 years. This stuff is amazing. I can't wait for warm weather so I can wear sandals! | F | 66 | 3 months | 4/4/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | Lost taste. Medal taste in mouth. Sick on stomach 24 hours. Losing weight | F | 66 | 2 months 250 mg | 10/23/2015 | 1 | toe fungus | dizziness severe at times-tired- unable to focus-nausea-stomach pain-severe headaches-insomnia-stiff neck-leg cramps | After one month of taking this poison I called my dermatologist-told him how miserable I was feeling-He told me to continue taking the lamisil and that there must be something else going on in my body- continued the medication -the dizzy spells and other symptoms got worse-checked with my regular doctor- He also said it's not the lamisil-He directed me to an ear specialist to check for inner ear disorders- went through all kinds of tests -results -no inner problems-checked the internet and found this site-after reading the comments I decided , after 10 weeks of misery to discontinue taking this poison- it took about 2 weeks to get this "medication" out of my system but all of the horrible symptoms have disappeared--Were the doctors right or was lamisil the cause of my problems? I know the answer and I hope you do to!! Do not take lamisil!!It ruined 3 months of my life! It is not not worth the risk of having horrible side effects-fears mentally as to what is happening to your body and an overall horrible spaced out feeling--I lived with this toe fungus for 20 years and I wish I decided to live with it for the rest of life! It was a bad decision on my part to try lamisil-DON'T make the same mistake!! | M | 66 | 10 weeks | 9/20/2009 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | None. | After a lifetime of battling this ugly fungus my husband took Lamisil a couple years ago and he is so glad that he did. He thought that his course of drugs was only 30 days but maybe he's not remembering it properly. I am a 58 yr old female and I'm just starting the treatment myself and I will post my experience with it when finished. | M | 65 | 30 days | 1/17/2008 | 5 | toe fungus | I took lamisil for the prescribed three months with absolutely no side effects. It worked very well for me and my toes look good but I imagine that it will take a while for my big toe to completely grow out and look perfect.My doctor send me for a liver blood test after a month to make sure that I had no side effects from the pill and all was okay. | I wonder if the drug companies are not robbing us blind. This medication is very expensive. Don't get scared by all the negative comments on this site. Try it out and if everything is okay keep taking the pills. They worked for me. | F | 65 | 3 days | 11/8/2006 | 3 | toenail fungus | moderate loss of taste after 10 weeks of taking the medication | I hadn't heard of this side effect until I researched it on the web. I was surprised to read all the comments about taste loss. The toenails seem to be clearing up. But I can't decide whether to discontinue the medication. I am somewhat relieved to have discovered the reason for the taste loss. I wanted to lose a few pounds and I did, but I have lost enough. | M | 65 | 10 weeks | 12/23/2006 | 1 | toenail fungal infection | After taking drug for six weeks I suddenly lost all sense of taste. All food is now unpalatable, particularly any sweet or sugary ones. | I basically survive on hot soups which are easier to swallow. It is now 10 days since I stopped taking the drug and have had no noticeable improvement in my ability to taste. This drug is not worth the problems it has caused. | M | 65 | 45 days | 1/2/2007 |
